I am shocked that people feel they can walk away from children. Yes, teens can be painful to be around. It's their job. Parents have a job, and that job is not to be their teen's best friend forever. It is to confront the teen's behavior and try to mold it.

It's never easy. And I do understand that sometimes aging grandmothers or extended family cannot do the job when a tragedy has torn a family apart.

But to drop them at a police or fire station? Very, very strange. Eileen
